IRONY AND SENSE OF HUMOR IN DIDACTIC COMMUNICATION: TRAPS AND STRENGTHS
IRONY AND SENSE OF HUMOR IN DIDACTIC COMMUNICATION: TRAPS AND STRENGTHS

Summary/Abstract: In the educational environment, more than in the general human interaction, the messages must be productive: besides using the same code, the discourse must meet other criteria in order to reach the target represented by the student-receiver; in this regard, the transmitter should turn to a whole arsenal of techniques for drawing attention and always find the most appropriate persuasive approaches. Emotional response occupies an important place in this context, as communication must be primarily a relationship and then a vehicle of resources that one wants to share with others. In fact, the super communicator teacher would be the one who designs and carries out all of his activity by ensuring effective communication that is in line with the real needs of his students: well-structured and well transmitted. This paper brings into the readers’ attention the means by which good sense of humor can enhance good didactic communication.
